AutoCAD OS X - print/ plot, save as pdf, can't find correct forum to post to...?

[Anonymous]

Hello, I am struggling so bad with AutoCAD it's unbelievable. I can't even seem to find the right forum to post to? If someone could please move this to the correct forum I'd be grateful. I am having HUGE issues with ACAD for Mac running on OS X El Capitan. I am new to AutoCAD, only having used it whilst a student -- on Windows -- back in 2004. However, I am now on a MacBook Pro. I have created a drawing which I am looking to provide to a manufacturer for a new product to be created. I have it saved currently as a .dwg but when I try to create a .pdf it gives me errors: Job: - Error(s) Did Not Plot Job ID: 3 Sheet set name: Date and time started: 19/11/2015 23:47:51 Greenwich Mean Time Date and time completed: 19/11/2015 23:47:52 Greenwich Mean Time UserID: Mark Profile ID: Total sheets: 1 Sheets plotted: 0 Number of errors: 3 Number of warnings: 0  Sheet: asdfghj-Model - Error(s) Did Not Plot File: /Users/Mark/Desktop/asdfghj.dwg Category name: Page setup: Device name: Plot file path: Paper size: ERROR: The PMP folder was not found and is required for custom paper size creation. ERROR: Internal error attempting to create custom paper size. ERROR: Unable to create the requested media size as a custom size. I have spent hours searching the internet to no avail. I am inexperienced with AutoCAD and not entirely sure about plotting and printing but have tried to follow what others have mentioned through Google searches. I still can't seem to get it to save in .pdf however. Any and all help would be very much appreciated. TIA, Mark

This seems a problem when printing to PDF with drawings from Windows, and the page setup settings in Windows cannot be supported on Mac. AutoCAD 2016 for Mac has made some enhancement in this area, please give it a try there.
